How much weight will I lose?

The amount of weight you lose is dependent on how long you stay with us, how hard you train and how you eat. The longer you stay, the more likely you will get the results you are after. Please check our packages to understand which one works best for you.

Do you provide me with gloves and wraps for training?

Unfortunately no.  You can rent them at Tiger Muay Thai but please remember that other people have worn them before. BeFitreat does recommend that you buy your own either prior to arrival or you can purchase them at the Tiger Muay Thai Store. https://www.tmtfightstore.com/

How often should I train?

The level of training varies between individuals. If you are moderate to high in fitness level, it is recommended you do two to three sessions per day. It is important you recover and rest between sessions. If, however, you are new to training we recommend a slow an easy start with one class per day, plus Yoga and a soft cardio session in the gym. After a few days we recommend you add one more class to the training routine. Get in touch for the best recommended training routine for you.
